CLEARFIELD, PA., MAR. 9, 1861.
On our first page will be found a letter
from a friend now at Hilton Head.
We learn that Major John Irvin and
Capt. William Holden are home on a visit
to their friends.
Those about purchasing Carpeting etc..
will please bear in mind that Mr J. T. De
lacroix, 37 South 2d street, Ph J a, has a
large stock of these Goods in Store. Read
advertisement in this isue.
Sebgeant John orris. This gentle
man gave us a call on la3t Monday. John
belongs to the old Bucktaila. and i stout and
hearty, and is a noble looking soldier. He
has re-enlisted. Success to him.
Our member of Congress, Hon. G. W.
Scofield, made a speech in the House on
the 24th ult., on the bill to establish a Bu
reau for Freedmen. It is highly commend
ed by the Washington Chronicle, and sever
al correspondents.
Our friend, Lieut. Elliot Kratzer, of the
1st Penn'a Rifles, called on us on Tuesday.
He looks remarkably well, and maintains
his former martial appearance. Long may
he live to enjoy the blessings of kind and
appreciating friend1?.
The Boys of the 81th. We had the
pleasure of extending a friendly hand to
Sergt. W. A. Nelspn, one day last week.
He has re-cnlisted, and returns to the army
3 soon as his thirty days furlough expires.
We tender him our best wishes for his fu
ture welfare.
Raftixo, ect. The weather being very
pleasant on Monday last, rafting in was com
menced along the beach adjoining this place.
The snow that'had fallen last week has most
ly disappeared under the rays of a warm sun.
The river is still too low for running, and it
is rat!itr doubtful if snow sufficient remains
in the forrests to raise tli3 river to a rafting
stage. C'opious rains, however, may bring
Jwut that desired result in a short time.
To Volunteers.' By reference to our
new advertisement.-:, the reader will find that
the Commissioners of ClearEeljJ county have
offered a bjunty of $2 J J, in addition to the
Jovei nment bounty, to all who will enlist to
the credit of Clearfield county. Those who
desire to volunteer have now the opportuni
ty of doing so. Call without delay upon the
Commissioner's Clerk, who will be pleased
to communicate any farther information that
may be desired.
A Hint to Farmers. The following
hint, published farther west. is just as appli
cable htre. There are three thing? easily rais
ed and harvested; for which, the farmers may
depend upon it. there will be nn enormous
demand and high prices paid during the
war. We refer to jK)ta(oes, beans and onions.
The farmers could not do a hotter thincr for
themselves and their country than to plant
these vegetables very extensively. If it
appears, as the Spring advances, that the
whole cmp is likely to be short, and that
fruit will be scarce, onions, potatoes aud
leans must be had to fill the vacuum.
DrPTHERlA. An English physician, who
.ays he has cured 1000 cases of diptheria,
recommends his treatment, which consists in
thoroughly swabbing the back of the mouth
aud throat with a wash made thin : Table
salt, two drachms; black pepper, golden seal
nitrate of potash, alum, one drachm each.
M;x and pulverize, put into a teacup, which
half fill with boiling water, stir well, and
men mi up wan goou vinegar. Use every
uu.i hour, one, two and four hours, as re
covery progresses. The patient will swallow
a littie each time. Applv one ounce each
i'l spirits of turpentine, sweet oil and aqua
ammonia, mixed, every four hours to the
whole of the throat, and to the breast-bone,
keeping flannel to the part.

OBITUARY.
The deceased, Mr. George Glass, was the
sou ot Peter Glass, a German, and was born
in thb vicinity of Gett3'sburg, June 22,
1782. When he was four weeks old his
parents carried him to Bender's church, and
dedicated him to God in the holy ordinance
ot bautism. At the age ot 18 years las pa
rents removed to the State of Maryland, and
located near the city ot Frederick, where- he
was, a few years afterwards, received as a
member of the Evangelied Lutheran church
by the solemn rite of confirmation. Thus we
find that in earlv lite he assumed his bap
tismal vows, and consecrated himself to the
service of the Lord. The same minister,
who admitted him into the church, also u
nited him in matrimony with Miss Anna
Marian baehler, on the 19th day ot March,
1805, with whom he lived in peace aud har
mony during the long period of 59 years,
and who still survives her aged companion.
Herself far advanced in years, she was spar
ed to perform many a kind office on him,
who lingered a long time in a state of help
lessness. Shortly after his marriage he, with
his father's family, removed into Morrison's
Cove. Bedford County, where they spent a
number of years. In 1S23 he came to
White Township, Cambria county, Pa.
Like all pioneers George Glass here settled
down in the woods. Under his ax the tall
trees disappeared, by his labor the dense
forest vanished, and by his industry a fine
farm was opened in the wilderness. His
toil and economy, by the blessing of Provi
dence, procured him even more than a liv
ing ; and his honesty and friendship secured
him the good will of the entire community.
In this distant home he did not forget the
God of his fathers ; and, as soon as an op
portunity presented itself, he aided in or
ganizing acongregation of his mother church,
being among the original members of the
Lutheran congregation of Glasgow settle
ment. During his protracted afflictions we
visited him a number of times, and always
found him patient aud resigned, ready to de
part and to be with Christ. He died on
the first davof March, 1864. aged 81 years,
8 months, and 7 days. V e believe he died
a christian. On the following day he was
followed to the grave by a large concourse
of citizens, after a discourse at the house by
the pastor. On Sabbath, the 13th inst, his
funeral sermon will be preached from Psa.,
90 : 10. . a. r. 11.

! Camp Veteran. March . lsfi4.
Mr, Editor : Some of the "snaiks," at
a certain school house, not far from the sub
urbs of Clearfield town, were much excited,
on Friday evening last, on account of the
sudden appearance of three or four veterans
in their midst. - "Go in Bill," 3-011 make a
brave charge with blank cartridge; but if we
were as much afraid of cold lead, and the
smoke of gunpowder, as some we know of,
we would have laid back in coward's camp
during the battle of Winchester of March
23rd, 1862,instead oftakingour places in the
front rank during that hard fought battle,and
glorious victory. We tried our nerves in
twelve engagements with the rebels, while
you were . ulavinff off for vour discharge.
j, And as we are no strangers to the whiz of
cold read and the smoke of battle gunpow
der, I would advise you not to scare us to
death now. A Veteran.
It is said, upon good authority, that Mr.
Lincoln, while gratified at the expressions,
of confidence conveyed to him from the peo
ple of the different States through Legisla
tive bodies and Conventions, yet manifests
not the remotest disposition to engage in
President-making, deeming it his proper bu
siness to attend to the necessary means for
the suppression of the rebellion. Mr. L's
eminent good sense, pure patriotism and in
corruptible integrity, have justly endeared
him to the loyal masses.
More Goods. A fresh supply of goods,
suitable to the rafting season and spring
trade, is announced at Kirk & Spencer's
cheap store in Lumber-city. Call and ex
amine their stock of Fish, Bacon and Raft
ing utensils. A general assortment of goods

Gov. Curtin has issued a Proclamation
designed to prevent the agents from other

organizations out of the Commonwealth.
DIED:
On March 4th, at Glen Hope, Rev. Jo
seph S. Lee, of the East Baltimore confer
ence, aged 55 years, and in the thirtieth
year of his ministry. He was confined to
his bed three weeks, and although he suffer
ed much he was calm and patient and died
with strong faith in that religion which he
so faithfully preached to others.

Although, not disposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medkines in general, through distrust of
tbeir ingredients and effects; I yet know of no
sufficient reasoas why a man may not testify in'
the benefits he believes himself to have received
from any simple preparation in the hope tbathe
may thus contribute to the benefit of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof
land's German Bitters, prepared ny Dr. C. M.
Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced a
gainst them for many years, under the impres
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.
Iam indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker,
Esq.. for the removal of this prejudioe by proper
tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great aud long continued debility.
The use of three battles of these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year, was followed by
evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bod
ily and mental vigor which I bad not felt for six
months before, and had almost despaired of re
gaining. 1 therefore thank God Tid my frieni
for directing me to tho use of them.

Pailapelphia, Angust 23rd. IR62.
Messrs. Jones if istvittt. Well, gentlemen.your
lioofiand's German Bitters baa saved my "life.
There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for
by numbers of my comrades, some of whose names
are appended, and who were fully cognisant of
all the circumstances of my case. I am. and
have been tor the last four years, a member of
Sherman's celebrated battery, and under the im
mediate command of Capt. R B. Ayres. Through
the expo sure attendant upon my duties, I was
attacked in November last with inflammation of
the longs, and was for seventy-two days in the
hospital. This was followed by great debility,
heightened by an attack of dysentery. I was then
removed from the White House, and sent to this
city on board the Steamer -State of Maine, ''from
which I landed on the 2Sth of June. Since that
time I have been about as low as any ene could
be and still retain a spark of vitality. For a
week or more I was scarcely able to swallow any
thing, and if I did force a morsel down, it was
immediately thrown up again.
I could not even keep a glass of water on my
stomach. Life could not last under these circum
stances; and, accordingly, the physicians who
had been working faithfully, though unsuccess
fully, to resoue me from the grasp of the dread
Archer, frankly told me they could do ho more
for me, and advised me to see a clergyman, and
to make such disposition of my limited funds as
best suited me. An acquaintance who visited me
at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Stein born, of Sixth
below Arch Street, advised me, as a forlorn hope,
to try your Bitters, and kindly procured a bottle.
From the time I commenced taking them the
gloomy shadow of death receded, and I am now
thank God for it. getting better. Though I have
taken but two bottles, (nave gained ten pounds,
and I feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoin
my wife and daughter, from whom I have beard
nothing for eighteen months : for. gentlemen, I
am a loyal Virginian, from the vicinity of Front
Royal. To your Invaluable Bitters I owe the cer
tainty of life which has taken place of vague fears
to your Bitters will 1 owe the glorious privi
legejof again clasping to my bosom those who are
dearest to me in life.
Very truly yours, Isaac Malose.
We fully conour in the truth of the above state
ment, as we had despaired of aeeinz our comrade.
